[blparent] Baby's first cold?

[Tammy, Paul and Colyn]

HI,
Don't worry if she doesn't want to eat anything.  She may not feel like 
eating, and that's perfectly okay since she may have a sore throat or a 
headache.  Just make sure she drinks lots, and use the aspirator.  My son 
loved it when I used ours.  Also, I used to run the shower and let Colyn 
sleep in his stroller in the bathroom if we was a bit more fussy then usual. 
This also seemed to help, and I used to be able to sleep while he was 
sleeping.
